Why Mammoth?
The fossil record shows that long ago some of the biggest things on earth came from Nebraska. Mammoths to be precise. We may be a small studio, but we come up with some mammoth story ideas. From futuristic sci-fi to forest magic fantasy, we're always looking for new stories of adventure to tell.

Team Mammoth

Luke

Luke Bolin

Owner
Our fearless leader. Never afraid to chase a dream no matter how crazy it may seem. With over 15 years of film and animation storytelling experience, he’s the perfect candidate to head this studio. While captaining this ship through unexplored waters, you’ll still find Luke hoisting the yardarms right alongside his creative crewmates.
Shawn

Shawn Gourley

Creative Director
If Shawn could swap his head for a camera, he would. He sees the world as if it were a film. Through his wealth of live action and animation directorial experience, Shawn always finds a way to squeeze every ounce of magic from every story he touches.
Dillon

Dillon Wheelock

Art Director
Is the pencil he wields magic, or is it the man himself? A true wizard of visual storytelling, Dillon knows no artistic boundaries. From character design, art direction, storyboarding, world building, and writing he could be a one-man studio. Luckily he still likes our help from time to time.
Coban

Coban Rudish

Writer / Animator
Coban has a knack for spontaneous storytelling. His insane imagination and unique vernacular come through in every project he touches. Coming from a pedigree of animation talent, his father, Rich, created Rainbow Bright and his brother, Paul, is currently the show runner for The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse. Coban is always up for creative challenges, in fact, he embraces it.
Skylar

Skylar Hogan

Animation DIrector
Our animation wizkid! A true master of the digital arts. Skylar's designs, be it character or environment, hit the mark every time. And if those designs need to move across the screen to tell a story, he’s the one you want in charge of motion. His instinctual knowledge of the complexities and subtleties of movement are proof that he has conquered the realms of both space and time.
Haley

Haley Collins

Animator / Illustrator
Haley has come a long way since filling her textbook margins with sketches of Spirit and Sponge Bob. Haley is proof that dreams do come true. Through practice and persistence, she has honed her skills as an artist, animator, and storyteller. She is Mammoth’s fastest learner, making the fear of anyone of us losing our job real.
John

John Bolin

Acquisition / Producer
John has over 30 years of experience in the entertainment industry writing, producing and directing both live stage and film. In addition, John is an accomplished author with 10 published books under his belt.
Ken

Ken Keys

Animation Supervisor
Ken is the Obi Wan of Mammoth. With over 30 years of animation experience working on everything from Balto, to Shrek to LOTR, Ken is a master at his craft.
Jaimee

Jaimee Backstrom

Office Manager
Gears are only gears without a drive shaft to propel them. Jaimee keeps our gears in constant motion. Without her this wiley bunch of dream rangers would be lost in space. Luckily we have her front and center at mission control.
